    • Department leadership
    • Commercial influence

    In the early phase, you'll spend approximately 80% of your time on fee-earning project work, transitioning toward a broader strategic focus as the department grows.

    What You'll Be Doing:

    Department Leadership

    • Line manage a team of engineers, designers, and an apprentice
    • Balance workloads, track milestones, and lead weekly team reviews
    • Conduct one-to-ones and performance appraisals
    • Drive recruitment, mentoring, and long-term capability building
    • Define and monitor KPIs to ensure performance and quality

    Technical & Project Delivery

    • Act as EC&I discipline lead and design authority
    • Oversee and approve Electrical, Instrumentation & Control deliverables
    • Ensure compliance with UK & EU regulations
    • Provide oversight on:
    • Hazardous area design (ATEX / BS EN 60079)
    • Functional safety (BS EN 61511)
    • GMP project requirements
    • Lead internal and client design reviews
    • Support planning, cost estimation, and risk mitigation

    Commercial & Client Engagement

    • Contribute to proposal development and manhour estimates
    • Attend client meetings and site visits
    • Build long-term client relationships
    • Identify growth opportunities within ongoing projects
    • Promote a culture of accountability and continuous improvement

    What We're Looking For:

    Essential:

    • Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline)
    • Strong background in EC&I within process industries
    • Experience leading engineering teams
    • Proven ability to act as technical lead/design authority
    • Commercial awareness and proposal input experience
    • Confident communicator with clients and stakeholders

    Desirable:

    • Functional Safety knowledge (BS EN 61508 / 61511)
    • TUV certification (or similar)
    • ATEX / BS EN 60079 experience
    • CompEx qualification (or similar)

    Why Join?

    • Growing multidisciplinary consultancy with ~40 engineers and designers
    • Around 30 active projects at any time
    • Project design values up to £3 million in fees
    • Collaborative leadership team and quarterly strategy reviews
    • Clear pathway for progression and influence
